very well said! he was the best dad, he saved that babies life. i cant believe the mom! i'm glad the grandparents worked with John so he could see the little girl he saved and raised again! he did what he thought was best, bc her own mom tried to kill her own baby if he wasn't in the woods then that little girl would have drowned to death! great movie watching from america!
What a great movie. We have a 11 year old who came to us as a foster child, her mother too was drug addict and homeless. Our princess came three years after we took her older sister and brother. This reminded me of how my husband cried with this, then, one year old as she was going through drug withdrawals. He held her rigid little body for hours as they both cried. Today, my husband is the only dad she knows and their bond is beyond believe. Her mother, now drug free for 10 years and her two siblings are still living with us. Her two older siblings just graduated grade 12 and thus begins a new journey as young adults with us supporting them all the way. ❤
What about the blood mother she has rights you know. When these children mature and start to have their own children. They will see the importance of the bloodline. Mark Gods words.😊
@@carolynreid2108hopefully their blood momma appreciates that someone else raised their babies to adulthood. And hopefully they are still able to have a relationship with their birth children and future grandchildren xx
Your story is confusing. Did you know her before she was eleven, as your story says your husband held her at one during her drug withdrawals. Please reread your story and clarify for your readers.
Australia. Wow this movie was so moving for me. So sad and also so inspiring, What a shock for the grandfather to find out what his daughter had done. The best movie all around for so many reasons. so much compassion

WATCH THIS! One of the best drama movies I've watched on TH-cam. Tear-jerker and the characters' acting are very convincing, very good esp the father, the kid and the grandfather. I cried in some scenes near the ending reminds me of my late father. I'm from the Philippines. Thank Ü for sharing.
The little girl is absolutely priceless. She's so adorable and reminds me of my daughter. The power our daughters have over us, dads. She's so strong and independent. Love it.
I'm still a Daddy's girl at the age of 64 yrs old and I always will be because I was actually always close to him starting at a very young age. Even though my Daddy's passed away 😢 😪 😔 and went to be with our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Sprit. 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💔 I'm sad 😔 but happy too Becky now he's in no more pain. 😢
Exceptional movie. From UK. Recently moved here from 34 yrs in France. Wonderful acting from everyone. Intriguing plot. Kept me glued to the screen and as everyone else, cried at the end. I did think they were going to give the child back to the father........quite a turn up at the end. Thank you so much for posting, thank you. Beautiful.
It is a movie that we can all learn something from. People struggling in their lives--brokenness from trauma in the war, and from broken relationships, and then some are just trying to do the right thing in life and heal from their loss of a spouse. It is only in confessing the truth that enables people to come clean. How beautiful restoration can be!! May God bless you in your life--may you be an agent of truth in your circle of influence!!!
Wow, the older I get, the more I appreciate my childhood, raised by two stable, loving parents on the east coast of Canada. No child abuse, no alcoholism, no drugs, just fond childhood memories surrounded by love. Miss you mom and dad, we were truly blessed.
Yes, you truly were. I wasn't so lucky but at least I've always been blessed enough to have an extremely close relationship with God, my Father. (Now 72 years old)
Great that a person is raised by their loving parents. Stability with Love helps the child to choose the person they marry later on in life. I was raised by an abusive stepdad from 5-18yo and the lifestyle carried on into my adult years. I chose the wrong man which was not Gods Will, but theLord restored my life and used me in youth ministry, single mothers, and elderly Ministry. The key is FORGIVENESS once a person forgives themselves, and forgives people who hurt them~~they will have a blessed life. I’m now 79yo, my Lord Jesus is very Real in my life as He is #1, and I share His deliverance,and Love where ever I am. My picture here was my 70yo Birthday. ✝️🕊️JOHN 3:16
Really enjoyed this movie portraying the extremes of human behavior that come full circle in potentially positive ways.

Great movie. Well worth watching. Watched it from north of Scotland. The scene when the car was pushed off the cliff by Graham and the girl’s mother shouting, and John rescuing the girl reminded me of the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. He said to his brothers that they“intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” God used John to save Katie/Natalie, but in fact, holding this helpless baby saved John’s life too. And the mother later on found God’s forgiveness and mercy. God’s ways are always higher than ours even if we don’t understand it at the time, we just need to trust Him and obey.
What an exceptional story of Hope and Love coming abundantly from a source we would never imagine. that is God’s kind of love… Yes, tears of sadness then turned to joy. I’m glad I watched this, kept scrolling past for awhile now. No regrets, only holding onto dreams, praying that no matter our age, they would come true! 🙏
What a sad but a Beautiful movie ❤ a man who was planning to commit suicide was saved by this miracle.... 🙏🙏🙏👣❤ ... and He took care of this miracle child with all his life 😢❤🙏 it is said that the creation works in such mysterious ways 🙏🙏🙏 thank you soo much for sharing this movie 😢❤

South Carolina. Very plaubisible story and great acting! The little girl hooked me from the beginning and I couldn't stop watching. Little slow at the beginning but as the details emerged it kept me guessing right up to the end. Bring tissues!! It does leave me with hope but I want to see the sequel now!😢 Is the little girl in any other movies??
Here's the Wikipedia page on her (for what it's worth) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_Elizabeth_Jones She's got a few films and some television "under her belt". She may currently be focusing on her studies.
Great story. Utterly heartfelt and believable. Fantastic acting, especially the lead girl-child actress and lead man role, and the grandfather. I was hooked from the get-go to the end.
Yes, this movie is really as good as all the comments say it is! A very powerful story. Outstanding acting, too. I'm a fan of Ted Levine and Maggie E. Jones, and they were GREAT in this.
A great movie with a great sad ending when her saver of her life by a stranger has to give her up to her grand parents after taking care of her for several years. Indeed, he should have reported his saving of her life and surrender her, but knowing she wanted her own child dead put him in a spot to return to her mom. He was right in his position to care and love her like his own child which he did very well.
Very moving and tender- but it reveals the Human 'way' , the 'right' way, to do things just is not always right. It exposes the many anomalies, that we are told are 'normal', are in fact inhumane. I think the era has done enough for now, and history will never repeat such again. It is fortunate that we are shifting in our consciousness, enough now to find better ways to treat each other.I am watching this movie in New Zealand.Thank You for this film.
Sure wish this movie had closed captions for all of us hearing challenged folks. But the visual and what can be heard and understood point to an excellent and well acted out story line. Viewing in south coastal Texas with many thanks.
The film has 7 main actors, in my opinion, the 7 mentioned below the video, and they all do a great job, as do most of the supporting actors. This film would have deserved a lot of big awards for a lot of people - including the girl, of course.
I saw this movie already xxx times before and I still can't stop. I'm searching for this movie every year and watch it like it is my first time. It's my favorite movie.
I feel so sad for the little girl. Finally the man she knows and loves as her father doesn't have to hide. He can find a job and rent a place. He loves her like a good father loves his daughter. He expllained they rescued each other. But no, they don't consider this father and daughter could stay together. Instead of living with him and visit her grandparents they turned it around. Sad, very sad.
Thank you for your comment. I uploaded this film for everyone because I love this film. Yes, love is the right word. I had to share it. I think this is the best possible ending and at the same time the best possible continuation of this special family story. I am sure you will find it out. It is the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
@@Southamericangirl42 No, that is not true. She has absolutely loving grandparents. And her father was NOT taken away from her. I am sure you will find, as I have and many others, that this is absolutely the best solution, the right solution. And that is what makes the film so special.
I was choking with grief as the father had to say goodbye to her and I cried again when I saw the face of the grandfather as he watched them reunite and hugging. He looked like a very nice man . Everything worked out in the end. This shows what drugs can make people turn into. If there is a devil, he created drugs . The grandfather played Adrian Monk's chief of police and also the crazy pervert who wanted to be a woman in Silence of the Lambs ! I'm in Miami, Florida, USA.
In regard to your comment about The devil. He is most certainly real But invisible. The truth. Is God is love, And the opposite of that is hate. People do not want to face the reality Of sin, Which Jesus Talk about. Heaven is real and so is Hell. The bible teaches you must be born again spiritually. Which simply means to receive Jesus christas. Your savior and Lord which is taught in the Bible. As your salvation. Because jesus christ is the only way, He alone is eternal life. And nobody is sinless, Except God. I asked that you take this message message seriously.. God has given you the will to choose, Eternal life or eternal death. May god help you choose Eternal life
Whoa.... that was really really hard and so tragic! Well written and well acted, but at least they allowed for a connection between the 2 so the ending wasn't totally horrible.... he will always be her Daddy. 😢
*** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *** This Movie Was So Good ! Good Story. An Extremely Heartfelt movie Made me cry so much But it shows what drugs can do to someone. The actor who played the Vet Whom saved This Child From perishing In the car Was A Wonderful Actor!! The Little Girl Also Extremely Talented He Saved The Childs Life And towards the End when he was digging A grave for himself She saved him. I Cried More when he came back To say good bye Thank you For Sharing USA
I’m not sure how you can say the grandfather is so great. Look how he beat up that guy. He was completely tactless in how he handled those situations some of the time. Taking the child’s mother and grandmother to the hospital to meet her after she’s been through that Examination, that was traumatic for the child. Nobody apologised for that. Then he went to the church while the service was on to take his daughter out of there, he could’ve waited. It was just nasty. if he behaved to his daughter like that when she was young, that explains why she was a drug addict. It’s a familiar story, a father who is over critical, expecting perfection, especially if they’re in the police. We all have to face up to ourselves, look at our own behaviour, and stop blaming other people for our own shortcomings . So this movie was made 10 years back, I hope there is more genuine love and compassion in the world now.
@@francescabaylin5551 i agreed WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! ..... I respected his PASSION. But, we ave to learn to differentiate between the GOD THING VS GOOD THING. That was SOOOOO embarassin in d house of the LORD..... NO REVERENCEEEEEE n to make it WORST infront of a WHOLE CONGREGATION. It could have handled better. A key point u highlighted,was his parenting, u can tell he ave NEVA trusted her words it was her mom correcting ALL his error. Another "nedge my teeth mo" wen he caught up with the man in the wood, while diggin, he wasn't listenin at all wat he was saying about Nathalie/ katieee... Emotions, got d BEST of him, in which he pulled his weapon. I wonder, WHY he's even on d case based on his connection to NATALIE. Nonetheless, i DO FATHOM y he acted in certain aspect, But d church scene was DISGRACEFUL not once but 3 times!!!???? She already went through dat SHAME n GUILT n him re-openin dat wound in dat fashion was SAD!!
Watching from Canada. Wow! Just wow! One of the best movies I've ever watched. A tear jerker with an ending I never expected. Happy ending and sad all at the same time.
Sad movie but incredible human with a unexpected beautiful end, I was about tired but the child's acting and the story is so real: a negligent mother... Thanks so much for sharing.
Excellent movie with Christ's values through justice and compassion for all involved. The Counsel given by the sheriff/grandfather was perfectly balanced.
Exceptional movie, amazing cast, excellent actors, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time!!! You must watch, it's so good...the plot was so original, cried, I cried and cried some more! USA
This Marine Veteran thought he was saving the girl’s life from drowning but girl ended up saving him from committing suicide in the middle of digging his own grave
I love the Christian theme. The redemption hopefully of the daughter, Katy is beautiful girl, rescued from death. You can't choose your family, he found family in the little one. The man rescued the little one. Beautiful ❤😊Jess xx
You're welcome. I love this film myself - despite all the tragedy. But it's the people and the fact that people learn from their mistakes on a level that is never touched upon in other films. It is a film that goes very deep without being over the top. It is a very special story. A story that has a lasting impact.
I posted this film because it is the best film I have seen in 30 years. I posted this film because it is one of the top 2 films in my life, and I just wanted to share it. Luckily, TH-cam makes it possible. The reactions show: This film touches like no other. It is a unique story - and with great actors! My number 1 film, the most important film, seen 1993 in a cinema in Hannover: Schindler's List.
@@Snowisa It also makes me happy when I can make other people happy without it being my merit, I am just a thief, a video pirate. I remember when I saw the film for the first time (in German, by the way) and thought: And when would he kill the little girl? Or anyone else? He did not seem very trustworthy to me. I expected a kind of thriller. Oh, and it is a thriller, but so far away from all expectations. And what are your other two favourite films? I also like Hitchcock films like "Rear Window", "To Catch a Thief", "North by Northwest". Very different, of course, just mainstream, and very stylish. This film here is not mainstream. You can call it a jewel among the films that are not mainstream. I call it that. Though the background is anything else but nice. But it has strong messages.
@@mkzzzzzzDo you know I was also thinking when is he going to kill her and then it all fell into place towards the end. What a brilliant little actress she is!
@@Snowisa Absolutely. And now I can recommend three more films with great young actors: Man on Fire (2004) with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. Dark Water (2005) with Jennifer Connelly and the young Ariel Gade. And The Sixth Sense of 1999: Haley Joel Osment. Only a few child actors reach this brilliant quality. And Maggie Elizabeth Jones is one of them.
I'm still watching it. Just passed the part after he was questioning the missing girl'y mother about the vet whose arm was found in the car. I research missing and trafficked people. God is calling me to get involved. The title captured my attention first. My first name is Joann which means 'God's Grace', but years ago I found a poster of a missing teenager. The name on the flyer said Hope Voyda, she went missing in the late 1980s. The photo on the flyer was me at age 16 or 17. But the description on the flyer doesn't match my photo at all. I have hazel brown eyes and brown hair. But the printed description on the flyer says she has blond hair and blue eyes. I don't remember much about my childhood and what I do remember doesn't really match what I've been told by the people I thought was my family. I used to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, praise God I am not a JW anymore because the real Jesus who is not a created being saved me. A very strong fear that keeps people in the JW antichrist organization is fear that if you leave the organization will kidnap your children. They have good reason to be afraid because there has been proof that this has happened. A news story, for example, that is over is over 10 years old now. About a JW woman who divorced her JW husband, she left the organization, but he stayed in it. Her daughter went missing shortly after she won custody of their child. Their daughter had been around 10 when she went missing, she was in her late teens when they found her. The police had questioned the elder of their Kingdom Hall (church) but he'd denied knowing anything about her disappearance. But after the girl was found it was revealed that not only did the JW elder know what happened to the missing girl, he was involved in the abduction. I forget the name, but there is a popular movie you can watch that is based on a true story about a young woman who was disfellowshipped after she left the Jehovah's Witness cult. She was disfellowshipped by everyone she knew, including family. For me the scariest part of that movie was the last scene when she caught her mother taking her baby out of the car seat and tried to get into her own car so she can take off with it. I was triggered, watching that scene I started crying uncontrollably and repeated over and over, " no no no no no". When cult children are abducted or are given to other cult members to be raised as their own (private, secret adoptions) arranged by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses with the help of the elders of the congregation their biological parents belong to. In Jesus name I want undeniable, physical, legal proof of what happened to me, and I keep praying that God will help me remember. But I think God is calling me to do something more important. To love others as I love myself. The only form of trafficking that no one talks about is Spiritual Trafficking, which is Cult Trafficking, what hear happens to victims of labor and x trafficking also happens in these cults, except when it happens to someone in a religious cult no one believes you. They usually assume the person is making it up for attention, is paranoid or crazy. I believe Jesus wants me to rescue people in the religious cults, the same way Jesus rescued me. But I don't know how to do it, so I need your prayers. Please pray that Jesus will bring people into my life who have Jesus as their only Lord and Savior who will help me do what our heavenly Father wants me to do.

Great movie. Well worth watching. Watched it from north of Scotland. The scene when the car was pushed off the cliff by Graham and the girl’s mother shouting, and John rescuing the girl reminded me of the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. He said to his brothers that they“intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” God used John to save Katie/Natalie, but in fact, holding this helpless baby saved John’s life too. And the mother later on found God’s forgiveness and mercy. God’s ways are always higher than ours even if we don’t understand it at the time, we just need to trust Him and obey.

Australia! Loved this movie
I need someone to send me an invite to Australia
@ oooooh it’s awesome here!
South Carolina. Very plaubisible story and great acting! The little girl hooked me from the beginning and I couldn't stop watching. Little slow at the beginning but as the details emerged it kept me guessing right up to the end. Bring tissues!! It does leave me with hope but I want to see the sequel now!😢
Is the little girl in any other movies??
Yes , google Maggie Elizabeth Jones
Here's the Wikipedia page on her (for what it's worth)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_Elizabeth_Jones
She's got a few films and some television "under her belt". She may currently be focusing on her studies.
Thank you Appreciate you sharing knowledge 💐@@billwilson5341
Thanks! I finally got around to looking her up. I'll check out her other movies for sure! Definitely has talent!!❤@billwilson5341
😢❤
Great story. Utterly heartfelt and believable. Fantastic acting, especially the lead girl-child actress and lead man role, and the grandfather. I was hooked from the get-go to the end.
Yes, this movie is really as good as all the comments say it is! A very powerful story. Outstanding acting, too. I'm a fan of Ted Levine and Maggie E. Jones, and they were GREAT in this.
A great movie with a great sad ending when her saver of her life by a stranger has to give her up to her grand parents after taking care of her for several years. Indeed, he should have reported his saving of her life and surrender her, but knowing she wanted her own child dead put him in a spot to return to her mom. He was right in his position to care and love her like his own child which he did very well.
Very moving and tender- but it reveals the Human 'way' , the 'right' way, to do things just is not always right. It exposes the many anomalies, that we are told are 'normal', are in fact inhumane. I think the era has done enough for now, and history will never repeat such again. It is fortunate that we are shifting in our consciousness, enough now to find better ways to treat each other.I am watching this movie in New Zealand.Thank You for this film.
This is one of the best movie that I’ve watched. Jan.11,2025
Sure wish this movie had closed captions for all of us hearing challenged folks. But the visual and what can be heard and understood point to an excellent and well acted out story line.
Viewing in south coastal Texas with many thanks.
@Michael, thank you for sharing this movie. Maggie Elizabeth Jones is an amazing young actress and very cute.
The film has 7 main actors, in my opinion, the 7 mentioned below the video, and they all do a great job, as do most of the supporting actors.
This film would have deserved a lot of big awards for a lot of people - including the girl, of course.
@@mkzzzzzz , agree!
Beautiful movie but lots of sadness too. Watching from Thunder Bay, ON
Hard to watch but my gosh its good! Im a 69 year old daddy and i cried like a child. God bless
aahh hugs!
So glad I found this! It is an incredible drama.
I saw this movie already xxx times before and I still can't stop. I'm searching for this movie every year and watch it like it is my first time. It's my favorite movie.
Spain.
Thanks for sharing this great movie!
It was a beautiful movie. Very touching. Good moral in it. Thank you for sharing it. The LORD bless you. Shalom
I feel so sad for the little girl. Finally the man she knows and loves as her father doesn't have to hide. He can find a job and rent a place. He loves her like a good father loves his daughter. He expllained they rescued each other. But no, they don't consider this father and daughter could stay together. Instead of living with him and visit her grandparents they turned it around. Sad, very sad.
Thank you for your comment.
I uploaded this film for everyone because I love this film. Yes, love is the right word. I had to share it.
I think this is the best possible ending and at the same time the best possible continuation of this special family story. I am sure you will find it out. It is the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
@user-uf3ed7fu1h
I agree with you. The only love she ever knew was taken from her.
@@Southamericangirl42 No, that is not true. She has absolutely loving grandparents. And her father was NOT taken away from her.
I am sure you will find, as I have and many others, that this is absolutely the best solution, the right solution. And that is what makes the film so special.
One of the best movies I have seen in a while. Did not expect it all and certainly did not see where is was going. Prepare to be surprised.
I was choking with grief as the father had to say goodbye to her and I cried again when I saw the face of the grandfather as he watched them reunite and hugging. He looked like a very nice man . Everything worked out in the end. This shows what drugs can make people turn into. If there is a devil, he created drugs . The grandfather played Adrian Monk's chief of police and also the crazy pervert who wanted to be a woman in Silence of the Lambs ! I'm in Miami, Florida, USA.
In regard to your comment about The devil. He is most certainly real But invisible. The truth.
Is God is love, And the opposite of that is hate. People do not want to face the reality Of sin, Which Jesus Talk about. Heaven is real and so is Hell. The bible teaches you must be born again spiritually. Which simply means to receive Jesus christas. Your savior and Lord which is taught in the Bible. As your salvation. Because jesus christ is the only way, He alone is eternal life. And nobody is sinless, Except God. I asked that you take this message message seriously.. God has given you the will to choose, Eternal life or eternal death. May god help you choose Eternal life
Best movie I've seen in a very long time. True love story.
Just as brilliant as the first time. Many thanks
Whoa.... that was really really hard and so tragic! Well written and well acted, but at least they allowed for a connection between the 2 so the ending wasn't totally horrible.... he will always be her Daddy. 😢

Thank you For Sharing
USA
What a beautiful movie! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Beauitful, love the Grandad and his Acts of Greatness. Great Watch.
I’m not sure how you can say the grandfather is so great. Look how he beat up that guy. He was completely tactless in how he handled those situations some of the time.
Taking the child’s mother and grandmother to the hospital to meet her after she’s been through that Examination, that was traumatic for the child. Nobody apologised for that.
Then he went to the church while the service was on to take his daughter out of there, he could’ve waited. It was just nasty. if he behaved to his daughter like that when she was young, that explains why she was a drug addict.
It’s a familiar story, a father who is over critical, expecting perfection, especially if they’re in the police.
We all have to face up to ourselves, look at our own behaviour, and stop blaming other people for our own shortcomings . So this movie was made 10 years back, I hope there is more genuine love and compassion in the world now.
@@francescabaylin5551 i agreed WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! ..... I respected his PASSION. But, we ave to learn to differentiate between the GOD THING VS GOOD THING. That was SOOOOO embarassin in d house of the LORD..... NO REVERENCEEEEEE n to make it WORST infront of a WHOLE CONGREGATION. It could have handled better. A key point u highlighted,was his parenting, u can tell he ave NEVA trusted her words it was her mom correcting ALL his error. Another "nedge my teeth mo" wen he caught up with the man in the wood, while diggin, he wasn't listenin at all wat he was saying about Nathalie/ katieee... Emotions, got d BEST of him, in which he pulled his weapon. I wonder, WHY he's even on d case based on his connection to NATALIE. Nonetheless, i DO FATHOM y he acted in certain aspect, But d church scene was DISGRACEFUL not once but 3 times!!!???? She already went through dat SHAME n GUILT n him re-openin dat wound in dat fashion was SAD!!
Watching from Canada. Wow! Just wow! One of the best movies I've ever watched. A tear jerker with an ending I never expected. Happy ending and sad all at the same time.
Probably one of the greatest of well-written movies I've seen in a long time. It got me crying tonight
Sad movie but incredible human with a unexpected beautiful end, I was about tired but the child's acting and the story is so real: a negligent mother...
Thanks so much for sharing.
I have a passion for serving and saving children. Thanks for the inspiration through this movie.
Excellent movie with Christ's values through justice and compassion for all involved. The Counsel given by the sheriff/grandfather was perfectly balanced.
Great movie! The ending made me cry a lot! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹🙌
North East England. A very powerful movie. The story was captivating and the acting, scenery etc was very good.
Awesome movie ...living in British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Nanaimo .
Glory be to God Hallelujah 🙌
What a truly great heartfelt film! Wonderful actors esp Ted Levine who is awesome in everything he does. Watching from Santa Rosa, California. 💐

Exceptional movie, amazing cast, excellent actors, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time!!! You must watch, it's so good...the plot was so original, cried, I cried and cried some more! USA
Fantastic movie...great storyline...acting was also outstanding, especially the little girl...❤
This is a beautiful, sad, heart felt movie from beginning to end.
What an Exceptional movie. Thanks So Much for sharing!.
im in Canada and this was the best film ever thanks for sharing
thanks for posting, Quebec
Very very good movie .... It will seriously make you cry. That lil baby was very lucky to be saved by a true Man , and she saved him. Very touching
This Marine Veteran thought he was saving the girl’s life from drowning but girl ended up saving him from committing suicide in the middle of digging his own grave
More than that, I think. She seems to have given him family, a reason to go on! What a wonderful, generous, forgiving grandfather she has! Amazing. 😢❤
Special movie! ❤
Am just reading the comments and it makes me feel please,, love it . watching all the way from Papua New Guinea
Very touching movie. Thank you. Yes, GOD can und want forgive us everything if we truly repent ... that's the GRACE
It's true, I felt His grace many many times during my life.
Namibia,

Movies can be beautiful with no sex, no cursing, no violence, no shooting!
What a movie! Great watch and I’m glad the ending didn’t disappoint me
Thank you Michael a great upload. The end had just enough sweetness
Hapoy 🕎 Hanukkah from VA USA
What a great story full of love heartbreaking .thx for upload Erica from South Africa withove
I love the Christian theme. The redemption hopefully of the daughter, Katy is beautiful girl, rescued from death. You can't choose your family, he found family in the little one. The man rescued the little one. Beautiful ❤😊Jess xx
true redemption is confessing and taking your earthly punishment..not hiding it and letting someone else take the blame
Thank you so much from South Africa
This movie just crush my heart😢😅but I'm glad she recovered her life with the grandparents .
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing this beautiful movie!
You're welcome.
I love this film myself - despite all the tragedy. But it's the people and the fact that people learn from their mistakes on a level that is never touched upon in other films. It is a film that goes very deep without being over the top. It is a very special story. A story that has a lasting impact.
Such a beautifully sad movie, omg.. In tears. I really enjoyed it and watched from South Africa.
That has got to be the best film I’ve seen in years. Really emotional and what an amazing little actress she is 💕
I posted this film because it is the best film I have seen in 30 years. I posted this film because it is one of the top 2 films in my life, and I just wanted to share it. Luckily, TH-cam makes it possible. The reactions show: This film touches like no other. It is a unique story - and with great actors!
My number 1 film, the most important film, seen 1993 in a cinema in Hannover: Schindler's List.
@@mkzzzzzzSo glad you posted it. Yes that has got to be in my top 3 favourite films so thanks for posting…
@@Snowisa It also makes me happy when I can make other people happy without it being my merit, I am just a thief, a video pirate.
I remember when I saw the film for the first time (in German, by the way) and thought: And when would he kill the little girl? Or anyone else? He did not seem very trustworthy to me. I expected a kind of thriller. Oh, and it is a thriller, but so far away from all expectations.
And what are your other two favourite films?
I also like Hitchcock films like "Rear Window", "To Catch a Thief", "North by Northwest". Very different, of course, just mainstream, and very stylish. This film here is not mainstream. You can call it a jewel among the films that are not mainstream. I call it that. Though the background is anything else but nice. But it has strong messages.
@@mkzzzzzzDo you know I was also thinking when is he going to kill her and then it all fell into place towards the end. What a brilliant little actress she is!
@@Snowisa Absolutely. And now I can recommend three more films with great young actors:
Man on Fire (2004) with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. Dark Water (2005) with Jennifer Connelly and the young Ariel Gade. And The Sixth Sense of 1999: Haley Joel Osment. Only a few child actors reach this brilliant quality. And Maggie Elizabeth Jones is one of them.
I'm still watching it. Just passed the part after he was questioning the missing girl'y mother about the vet whose arm was found in the car. I research missing and trafficked people. God is calling me to get involved. The title captured my attention first. My first name is Joann which means 'God's Grace', but years ago I found a poster of a missing teenager. The name on the flyer said Hope Voyda, she went missing in the late 1980s. The photo on the flyer was me at age 16 or 17. But the description on the flyer doesn't match my photo at all. I have hazel brown eyes and brown hair. But the printed description on the flyer says she has blond hair and blue eyes. I don't remember much about my childhood and what I do remember doesn't really match what I've been told by the people I thought was my family.
I used to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, praise God I am not a JW anymore because the real Jesus who is not a created being saved me. A very strong fear that keeps people in the JW antichrist organization is fear that if you leave the organization will kidnap your children.
They have good reason to be afraid because there has been proof that this has happened. A news story, for example, that is over is over 10 years old now. About a JW woman who divorced her JW husband, she left the organization, but he stayed in it. Her daughter went missing shortly after she won custody of their child. Their daughter had been around 10 when she went missing, she was in her late teens when they found her. The police had questioned the elder of their Kingdom Hall (church) but he'd denied knowing anything about her disappearance. But after the girl was found it was revealed that not only did the JW elder know what happened to the missing girl, he was involved in the abduction.
I forget the name, but there is a popular movie you can watch that is based on a true story about a young woman who was disfellowshipped after she left the Jehovah's Witness cult. She was disfellowshipped by everyone she knew, including family. For me the scariest part of that movie was the last scene when she caught her mother taking her baby out of the car seat and tried to get into her own car so she can take off with it.
I was triggered, watching that scene I started crying uncontrollably and repeated over and over, " no no no no no".
When cult children are abducted or are given to other cult members to be raised as their own (private, secret adoptions) arranged by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses with the help of the elders of the congregation their biological parents belong to.
In Jesus name I want undeniable, physical, legal proof of what happened to me, and I keep praying that God will help me remember.
But I think God is calling me to do something more important. To love others as I love myself.
The only form of trafficking that no one talks about is Spiritual Trafficking, which is Cult Trafficking, what hear happens to victims of labor and x trafficking also happens in these cults, except when it happens to someone in a religious cult no one believes you. They usually assume the person is making it up for attention, is paranoid or crazy.
I believe Jesus wants me to rescue people in the religious cults, the same way Jesus rescued me.
But I don't know how to do it, so I need your prayers. Please pray that Jesus will bring people into my life who have Jesus as their only Lord and Savior who will help me do what our heavenly Father wants me to do.
Yes, I pray for you.
I love this movie very much I had to watch twice God bless this group
Thank you for this deep touching movie . Best regards from Poland 👌
A real tear jerker.. beautiful movie.. and beautiful depiction of love between "father" and child, even though he did wrong.. 💔
Acting in this movie is totally super A+
from all
